First E-sword lost the desktop file.The link in the menu still worked so I didn't bother fixing it. Then it disappeared so I drug the executable out of local/bin and it opened but all the data was gone.
The Bibles had all the lists of books and chapters but not a single verse was there , Alll my topic notes, books, study notes etc were gone.
Weird.

Download the new setup1007.exe and doubleclick on it to update your current version.

e-Sword version 10.0 changes from 9.9 according to their web site

The Journal Notes, Study Notes and Topic Notes editors have been completely redesigned! You can now insert pictures, create tables, format with columns, have headers and footers, even work in print layout! There are dozens of new and improved features in the editors for you to enjoy working with.

A new Reference Library feature is now built into the program. With it you can view all Topic Notes and the new Reference Books modules downloaded from the e-Sword web site, as well as those created by others. No longer are these mixed in the Topic Notes editor with your own personal notes.

A new SermonAudio.com feature is now built into the program. Working with the folks at SermonAudio.com, we have provided an easy way for you to listen to nearly a half million sermons on any passage of the Bible!

The Resources feature has been updated to allow the management of Topic Notes and Reference Books.

4. Install the attached esword.pet file which will setup the necessary files in /usr/share so that it will show up properly in the Menu. If you want a link on your desktop, place a copy of the /usr/share/applications/e-Sword.desktop file on your desktop.

NOTE:
It is important, after a successful installation, to make a backup of it. Just copy root/.wine to mnt/home. Another alternative approach is to move root/.wine to mnt/home and then copy a link to root/. This keeps the wine programs out of the save file (less danger of corruption) and provides the flexibility to use it with different pups. I still place the other needed files in /usr/bin and /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/pixmaps, of course they could be moved to an e-Sword directory in mnt/home and linked back to the proper locations. Also, you need to make backup copies of files that were added by esword.pet: /usr/bin/esword.sh. /usr/share/applications/e-Sword.desktop and/usr/share/pixmaps/esword.png (or just have a backup copy of the esword.pet) since these will also be needed for new installations.

Also, in a new installation of another pup, all you will need to do is install Wine, then delete root/.wine and add a link to your /mnt/home/.wine. The esword.pet will also need to be installed.

Rick Meyer, developer of e-Sword, has changed his site and now the only way to obtain additional modules is by using the Module Downloader that is a key feature of the latest versions.

The e-Sword Module Downloader is a great feature for Windows users because it shows what you have installed and enables downloads and updates, Now it also works under Puppy Linux.

Places necessary files in appropriate directories so that e-Sword can be started properly

Installation procedure described in previous post were used and resulted in a perfect installation in Slacko. However, when I tried updating a previous version of e-Sword in an older installation, the Module Downloader did not work. So for best results it needs to be accomplished with a fresh installation.

The e-Sword Module Downloader (image-1) and Graphics viewer (image-2) work great along with other program features. The Module Downloader reflects both installed modules and those available for download. Clicking on a module to download copies the name to the bottom panel. The download is accomplished by the Module Downloader and does not use a browser.

Thank you Rick for improving the Downloader so that it works fine with Linux.

Installed e-Sword version 10.4 using Fatdog64 700 alpha 1 which is working great. See here for notes on installation.

Update changes noted on e-Sword website wrote:

e-Sword version 10.4

New Find on Page button located next to the Search button on each view's toolbar. This Find feature makes locating content easier on large articles, such as those in many commentaries, dictionaries and reference books.

New User Files Location field in the Resources dialog (under the Options menu) for customizing where you wish for your user files to be located. This is very convenient for setting up with backup or synchronizing programs, such as Dropbox. Initially these files will still default to your "My Documents\e-Sword\" directory, but now you can easily change that!

Fixed Editor issue where it could possibly give a formatting error and not save the changes.
e-Sword version 10.3

This build includes the latest versions of many components used within e-Sword. One major enhancement is the Editors now support right-to-left languages such as Hebrew.

Many little enhancements and bug fixes.
e-Sword version 10.2

Scripture references in the Bible view having associated Study Notes will now display a wavy underline to denote such.

The Reference Library now has automatic Bookmarks for every article. The Graphics Viewer also has automatic Bookmarks for each module.

Most Commentary modules do not contain specific Chapter Notes, so for those that do not the Chapter Notes mode will now display all of the Verse Notes for that chapter. This is very convenient for viewing those commentaries that have very few or very brief notes.

The built-in Downloader now allows direct downloading of Premium modules without needing to run separate EXE files. A new Info... link displays additional information about the given module.

The VerseList feature will now accept numerous Scripture references at once for populating the list. For example, entering the following list is now valid:
